America’s mainstream media,, off the table and off the newsstand

You can rest assured that the MSM will discredit Overpasses for America any way they can. It wouldn't surprise me in the least if they attempt to hinder the groups and falsify any coverage they print or report on.

Normally, as most of you know, I'm full of comments but this piece took all of the wind out of my sails. My only comment is this: I hope the HELL this goes through...

The truth is out there WND or not. We know the usurper. His name is Barry, the undocumented Senator from Kenya.

Patriots and former Obama supporters need to support Congress with the impeachment movement by winning 2/3 conservative control of both Houses of Congress in the 2014 elections. Then conservatives will actually have the constitutional authority to either remove the president, or at least guarantee that he will be a lame duck for his last two years in office.

Note that the Founding States had made the Constitution to limit (cripple) Congress’s powers. So the president of the USA was arguably intended to be a full-time lame duck in times of peace anyway. In other words, the president was expected to play golf every day.

“Patriots and former Obama supporters need to support Congress with the impeachment movement by winning 2/3 conservative control of both Houses of Congress in the 2014 elections.”

I believe this is a mathematical impossibility. The GOP currently holds 45 seats in the Senate. During the 2014 elections, there are 21 races for seats currently held by Democrats. So, even if the GOP wins every single Senate race this year (not gonna happen), we will hold only 66 seats, one short of a 2/3 majority. Impeachment is sort of pointless, since removal is impossible.

I've seen this same argument before. Was it also from you?

The reason that I indicate conservative control of both Houses of Congress, as opposed to saying Republican control, is because conservatives still come in both Republican and Democratic flavors imo.

In fact, Congress has exercised supermajority, 2/3 control of both Houses, as recently as Bushes 41 & 43, and also with Clinton. This is evidenced by the following.

List of United States presidential vetoes

The point is that patriots must not give up in trying to win conservative constitutional supermajority control of both Houses in the 2014 elections.

It may well have been me. I’m not saying we should give up on gaining supermajority control of both houses — the more conservatives in Congress, the better. Just saying that impeachment and removal are highly, highly unlikely, and that a conservative Congress would be much better served focusing its energies on dismantling the Obama regime’s legislation and regulations than on going down the impeachment route.

” conservatives still come in both Republican and Democratic flavors imo.”

Meant to respond to this too. I respectfully disagree that any Democrat in Congress (and certainly in the Senate) can fairly be described as “conservative,” much less conservative enough to support an attempt to impeach & remove Obama.

there are no conservative democrats

at best they have become independents. If they are deomcrats still they are institutionalized.

The Zell Miller types are dead and gone

Wouldn't they have to sober up Boehner first?

In fact, WND compiled a list of those members of Congress who have also talked about impeachment.

And talk about it is all they'll ever do.

Arpaio’s and Zullo’s press conference will be a game changer.

No, but look at it this way. Minority Dems would possibly flip-flop on Obamacare to save their seats in Congress.

B. Hussein Obama continues unimpeded as the arrogant Democrat leader of the Left Wing, Anti-Work Counterculture thanks to doormat Republicans such as Boehner, Cantor, McCarthy, Ryan, Issa, McConnell, and McCain.

Counterculture Democrats reap what they sow, and doormat Republicans gladly provide the fertilizer.

Teamwork has created this bi-partisan bliss.

What can possibly go wrong?

Sure it will. They're going to be holding that any week now, right?

Is it your task in life to pretend that Arpaio and Zullo are nothing?

You have no idea what’s going on. But it ain’t nothing.
